Abraham van der Merwe unpacks how people can save on electricity, risk free with Stage Zero

06 February 2025 · 32 min

In this What’s Next with Aki Anastasiou interview, Abraham van der Merwe discusses how South Africans can save on electricity with Stage Zero.

Van der Merwe is the founder and CEO of Stage Zero — a renewable energy provider that specialises in embedded generation and energy storage solutions for residential and commercial customers.

He is an accomplished investor with over 20 years of experience in the embedded systems and telecommunications industries.

In this What’s Next interview, van der Merwe reveals what led to the creation of Stage Zero and how it differs from other South African solar providers.

He explains why load-shedding ceased in 2024, how this impacted the market, and his thoughts on the future of load-shedding in South Africa.

Van der Merwe then details how Stage Zero helps its clients install solar and notes the process and advantages of going off-grid.

He concludes the interview by unpacking Stage Zero’s plans for the future and how those interested in its offerings can get in touch.
